Chapter 153 Caught the Rat Releaser
Qin Xiaoxiao grabbed Leng Yingchun's hand and hurried back to the room. She leaned against the door and said cautiously, "Shh, don't talk!"
"If you don't sleep, even if there are mice, they won't come!" Leng Yingchun sneered.
Qin Xiaoxiao was discouraged and jumped on the bed. She was too tired and fell asleep soon.
Leng Yingchun, on the other hand, kept hearing the noise of mice. As soon as she sat up, the noise stopped, causing her to not get much rest all night.
At dawn, she didn't sleep anymore, got on the carriage and went to find Anman.
Anman learned that she was going to make a mousetrap, so he took a ready-made mousetrap that could be assembled and disassembled and handed it to her, "Put it next to the thing you want to protect. Once the mouse appears, it will never escape."
.”
Leng Yingchun took it and looked at it, "If you move one, will the other malfunction and close continuously? Don't let the mouse fail to catch it and cause someone to step on it."
"The opening is so small that if someone steps on it, it won't cause any damage. Just take it back and I'm sure to catch more than ten of them tomorrow." Anman was very satisfied with his tool.@*~~
"Make a few more for me. I'll pick them up when I get back and try to get rid of the mice." Leng Yingchun put down the mouse trap.
"No problem!" Anman nodded, "However, this is not a complete cure, so I'd better go to the drug store to buy some rat poison and sprinkle some around the house. The rats will be dead!"
"Okay, I'll buy some rat poison too!" After Leng Yingchun finished speaking, he walked to the county government office in a hurry.
Leng Yingchun finally saw the master handing over information to others.
"Yingchun, why do you show up on time every time I want to look for you? We really have a father-daughter bond!" Master came over after finishing his work, "The rice is almost dry, you
When will it be delivered to Yuelai Building?"
"We don't have time to transport food now. Did you know that there is a rat infestation in Lishuping at our house? I have killed about ten rats in my house. I don't know if there are any in other places." Leng Yingchun sat on the table.
"You have to help me, otherwise something big will happen and I won't be able to plant any more rice. It will be eaten up by rats."
"Why is there a rat infestation all of a sudden? There wasn't one a while ago!" The master was surprised.
"It's man-made. Aunt Su saw a few young men from the city taking cages. Now I suspect that they are the ones responsible. See if you can find and catch them. Find out who is behind the scenes. I will kill them."
Take it apart." Leng Yingchun became angrier as she thought about it.
"Who are they? Where do they live?" Master asked.
"I just came to see you because I didn't know. Aunt Su has probably forgotten about it." Leng Yingchun felt helpless.
"I'm not omnipotent. Lucheng is so big and there are so many young men. How are we going to find them?" The master was also in a dilemma. "The top priority is to solve the rat problem as soon as possible. Have you bought rat poison? Be sure to put all the rats in your house."
The rat holes outside have been poisoned. By the way, I can get you some lime. Put some lime in each household to block the rat holes. Then catch the rats. Don't affect the cultivation of late rice!
"
Late rice is related to Master’s future.
"We are all preparing nervously!" Leng Yingchun nodded, "I don't know if we can deal with the rat problem."
"Folks, let's work together!" When the master saw the county magistrate coming in, he ran over to talk about the plight of Lishuping.
"There are rats. Store food and dig traps!" The county magistrate hurriedly gave an idea. "Ask the carpenter to prepare a few barrels, rub the inside of the barrel walls smoother, and put some food on them to lure the rats up. If they fall into the barrels, they will not be able to escape.
"
"Yes, yes, this method is good!" Master turned back, "Yingchun, come with me and get lime."
"Okay!" Leng Yingchun nodded towards the county magistrate and walked forward.
"Call a few people to help." The county magistrate became anxious and wanted to go to the scene to provide guidance in person.
The master didn't hear it. He hurriedly took Leng Yingchun to a house not far away. After saying hello, he went in to carry lime and let Leng Yingchun go back first. He was busy with other things and couldn't follow.
Leng Yingchun went to the drug store and bought rat poison. She went to Anman and took a lot of rat traps and went back.
When I arrived at Lishuping, I discovered that there were several dead rats at the door of every house. This was from last night.
"The mouse holes were blocked with lime and mouse traps were placed next to the grain.
Set a trap in the bucket and put some rat poison."
Leng Yingchun moved everything out of the carriage, and the grateful villagers returned home to decorate it.
When Leng Yingchun returned home, she also arranged for Leng Yinghuan to plan a mouse-catching plan together, so that the house was full of mouse-catching tools and there was no place to set foot.
In order to let the rats go out, Leng Yingchun sacrificed his money and put in a lot of food.
Everyone went back to their rooms to make room for the mice.
The sound of "chirping" came, coming and going, and it was very lively.
Half an hour later, the rats' voices became softer. They came out and saw at least ten rats in the rat trap, seven or eight rats lying next to the rat poison, and several scurrying in the barrel trap.
"Haha, dead mice, let's see where you are going. We have a trap here. Come and kill one by one!" Qin Xiaoxiao took a stick to scare the mice.
"How many rats did those people release?" Zhu Qingqing touched her forehead, "There must be seventy or eighty in Lishuping. It's terrible!"
"We don't know who it is..."
"Yingchun..." Aunt Su rushed in, supporting Leng Yingchun, who was panting, "I, I saw with my own eyes that those damned people carried cages and released rats on Lishuping..."
"Ah, no wonder we can't catch all the mice, they keep sending them in!" Qin Xiaoxiao stamped her feet anxiously, "Aunt Su, why don't you catch them, so they can continue to harm us with impunity?"
"I wanted to catch one. I rushed over and grabbed one, but they pulled me away and ran away." Aunt Su hammered the table, "Last night, I and the old man caught mice all night.
I was already in trouble sending Li Xiaobai's fiancée back to Liuhua Village, but when I came back, I saw them laying rats at the entrance of the village. I..."
"Aunt Su, do you still remember the faces of those people?" Leng Yingchun asked eagerly.
"Of course I remember!" Aunt Su nodded, "I am a matchmaker, I have a sharp eye, and I can remember it forever after meeting once."
"Let's go, tell the master about their characteristics, and ask the Yamen to recall where we saw them." Leng Yingchun didn't want to waste time.
No matter how much you clean up the rats, it will be useless if you don't catch the person who released the rats.
"Okay, let's go!" Aunt Su said happily.
"Huanhuan, please help deal with those rats and we're leaving!" Leng Yingchun finished the explanation and got into the carriage with Aunt Su.
Aunt Su looked at Leng Yinghuan who was obediently cleaning up the mice, then turned around and said softly, "Yingchun, I see you always instruct Huanhuan to do things. If he is unhappy, just pat his butt and leave.
If it falls on you, you won’t die of exhaustion?”
"We are a family, we can do any work, we are not so clearly divided!" Leng Yingchun drove the carriage in order to get to the county government office as soon as possible.
"Okay, I don't care about your business!" Aunt Su calmed down, then realized that the carriage was running very fast, and quickly grabbed the mast, "Yingchun, slow down, I'm going to fall!"
"Don't worry, I'm very good at driving a carriage and I won't fall down." Leng Yingchun was very confident and drove the carriage faster.
"Yingchun, why are you as reckless as a boy?" Aunt Su educated her, "You are so rough, who dares to marry you?"
"I can't get married at the age of thirty, how about you introduce me to a good family?" Leng Yingchun asked sideways.
"Then there are no good men left!" Aunt Su shook her head, as if she was no longer so afraid, "While you are young, you can choose a good man when you marry!"
"I know!" Leng Yingchun concentrated on driving the carriage and soon arrived at the gate of the county government office. He left Aunt Su and rushed in.
"Yingchun, I haven't gotten off the carriage yet, wait for me!" Aunt Su jumped down with great effort, and was dragged back to the master by Leng Yingchun.
"You?" The master was surprised and put down the book. He was looking for a better solution to eliminate rats.
"Nothing is possible, the top priority is to arrest those bad guys." Leng Yingchun knew the master's efforts when he saw the cover.
"Who?" The master was anxious, and the officer touched the knife.
"I don't know who they are, but I've seen them before and can recognize them at a glance." Aunt Su confirmed.
"Follow Aunt Su to find someone!" The master immediately ordered the officer and pointed to the opposite side, "Yingchun, please sit down and take it easy. Don't worry, the man has said that he will let someone make the announcement.
Okay, whoever dares to disrupt agricultural production again, once caught, the nine tribes will be exterminated!"
"The annihilation of the Nine Tribes involves too many innocent people. Isn't it too cruel?" Leng Yingchun did not expect that the county magistrate could exercise such great power.
"Of course it's impossible!" The master smiled, "What's the point of scaring them? Think about it, everyone cherishes their lives. Once they learn that a relative has committed a crime, they can't break off the relationship early? In the end, it's the person who committed the crime who will be harmed."
"That's easy to say!" Leng Yingchun calmed down, "Master, I'm so sorry for keeping you busy again."
"Why are you being polite?" Master pretended to be angry, "I'm also helping ourselves. Every local government must achieve results. Only then will there be a bright future."
"That's true!" Leng Yingchun thought it was reasonable. Thinking that Aunt Su wouldn't come back soon and was very tired, she asked the master for a room to sleep in.
She was woken up by the noise. When she came out, she saw the Yamen tied up several young people. Aunt Su was cursing next to her, "There will be no earth to bury the damned ones. They have defiled our ancestors, destroyed our families and harmed our parents. All of them looked so ugly."
We look like humans, but you want to let rats out in our place?"
She always patted them on the head, and they could only lower their heads.
"Yingchun, these rat excrements have been caught!" Aunt Su ran over when she saw Leng Yingchun, "God is wise, my old waist is almost broken. I finally saw them in a restaurant, I immediately asked the Yamen
After I caught them, they tried to escape, but I blocked the door."
"Aunt Su has the greatest credit, thank you for your hard work!" Leng Yingchun nodded slightly.
"Don't argue, we'll handle it!" The master walked over with his hands behind his back, "It's you little gangsters again. We've come in twice this year. I won't be so lucky next time. If I don't go to jail, I'll take your last name!"
The young man bared his teeth, beat him to death without saying who instigated it, spent a few years in jail, saved food for his family, and the family's one hundred taels of silver could still be safe.@*~~
"I don't believe you didn't tell me. Take them away and they will be tortured!" the master shouted, and the officer escorted them inside, "Be honest."
"Yingchun, Aunt Su, you go back first and we will give you an explanation." Master patted the dust on his knees. It had been a long time since he interrogated a prisoner.
"Then let's go!" Leng Yingchun grabbed Aunt Su's hand and walked out, "You have made a great contribution, I will treat you to a meal!"
"I want to eat pig's trotter rice!" Aunt Su immediately became energetic.
"Please, you are so fat and you still eat pig's feet rice?" Leng Yingchun did not recommend eating greasy food, "How about a roadside stall?"
"That's fine!" Aunt Su was not picky at all.
The two of us sat down and casually ordered gnocchi and started eating.
"Yingchun, what did you do at Li Xiaobai's house last night?" Aunt Su asked while blowing noodles. Her suspicious look meant that you liked him, right?
"I bought vegetable seeds and wanted to ask Aunt Li how to plant them." Leng Yingchun answered truthfully, "But I don't need them now. I will try to plant them."
"How can you grow rice and have time to manage vegetables?" Aunt Su didn't think Leng Yingchun had the energy to grow vegetables.
